ZWICK-EURO TEST 3123.01 DUROMETER – 0-100 SHORE A

Description

The ZWICK-EURO TEST 3123.01 Durometer is a high-quality instrument designed for measuring the hardness of elastomeric materials using the Shore A scale. Here are the key specifications of the ZWICK-EURO TEST 3123.01 Durometer:

• Measurement Principle: The durometer operates based on the indentation hardness testing principle, where a standardized indenter is pressed into the surface of the material under a specified force, and the depth of penetration is measured to determine hardness.
• Shore A Scale: It measures hardness using the Shore A scale, which is commonly used for softer elastomeric materials such as rubber and flexible plastics, providing a numerical value indicating the material’s resistance to indentation.
• Measurement Range: The durometer offers a measurement range from 0 to 100 Shore A units, covering a wide range of hardness levels encountered in elastomeric materials, from very soft to moderately hard.
• Accuracy and Repeatability: It provides high accuracy and repeatability in hardness measurements, ensuring reliable and consistent results for quality control, material characterization, and product development applications.
• Digital Display: The instrument features a digital display unit that shows the hardness value in Shore A units, allowing operators to easily read and record hardness measurements.
• Portable Design: The durometer is compact and lightweight, making it portable and suitable for on-site hardness testing in various industrial settings, including production facilities, laboratories, and field environments.
• Ease of Use: It is user-friendly, with a simple operation that involves placing the durometer on the material surface, applying a specified force, and reading the hardness value displayed on the digital screen.
• Calibration: The ZWICK-EURO TEST 3123.01 Durometer can be calibrated periodically to maintain measurement accuracy and traceability, ensuring consistent and reliable hardness readings over time.
• Applications: It is used in industries such as rubber manufacturing, plastics processing, automotive, aerospace, and quality control laboratories to assess the hardness properties of elastomeric materials, evaluate material performance, and ensure product compliance with industry standards and specifications.

In summary, the ZWICK-EURO TEST 3123.01 Durometer is a versatile and accurate instrument for measuring the hardness of elastomeric materials on the Shore A scale, offering a wide measurement range, digital display, portability, and suitability for various industrial applications requiring precise hardness testing of rubber and plastic materials.
